Looking to make checklist for work on KE20 two door

[delphi]

I've had this car for nearly 5 years now, two of which were spent working on recovering it from an accident that affected its front left side. The frame js still a little bent out of shape, but it got a new paint job and some rustproofing.

I'm starting to work on it again and what I'm looking for is an extensive list to go through to weed out issues considering how long it's been sitting and how many random mechanics have had their hands on it. Most of whom half assed whatever they were doing (hence the still bent frame)

The only modifications are a brake booster, an A/C and alloy rims.

to make what I'm looking for more clear, I want to know where to be wary for rust. What outlets and inlets to the cabin I might need to check. Know if anything needs to be to spec. Things that would generally help me keep this car healthier and run smoother

First, there is no point proceeding if the frame is still bent.

And surely you know where any rust is by now?  The common areas are at the rear of the base of the front guards/front of the sill, pockets behind rear wheels, base of the C pillar, and anywhere along the roof rails, under the battery tray, below the brake master cylinder.

Replace any perishable brake components and the brake fluid.  Flush the cooling system/check the heater core/hoses.

I recommend you fit an electronic points replacement kit, and obtain a set of factory manuals off ebay - chassis/body/engine.  They are always on there, just wait for copies that are sensibly priced.  Much superior to the Gregory's etc manuals.
